Father’s prayer at the midnight of the 39th True God’s Day, January 1, 2006
Beloved Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing us to hold this ceremony of blessing, the pledge service, observed closely by heaven and earth, on this morning of the first day of the year, where we have ushered out the fifth year of Cheon Il Guk and welcomed in the sixth.
Father, up until yesterday we have endeavored, by restoration through indemnity, to right history, which has been embedded in Your heart as a source of grief and sorrow; from the individual to the family, nation, world, and the cosmos, history has left You confined, unliberated and unfreed; in history materialism preceded theocentrism and heaven and earth were turned upside down and top and bottom reversed due to the fact that the lineage of love centered on Adam’s family was lost in the Old Testament Era, for Satan had planted the seed of love before God did in the human body, based on love in this world.
In the position of liberating the realm of heart of the original mind, You were to have freely supervised and presided over everything according to the ideal You held at the time of the Creation, and stood in the position of the king of kings of heart and love and in the position of the master of humankind and of everything in the entire universe both in heaven and on earth. However, all this, and furthermore, the foundation of the heart of God, were lost, on account of which the lineage of the kingdom of God was lost in the family. This in turn allowed Satan to get ahead and make it so that the elder brother Cain felt intimidated by the view of the will of the providence that is God’s providence of restoration, which was carried out based on his younger brother. Under the dominion of Satan, the Devil, Cain failed to embrace Abel in love and instead murdered him, leaving behind a history of bitter sorrow. The blood of Abel cried out to heaven from the earth, and God, who had to bring this matter to settlement, plunged into heartrending grief and anguish. In spite of the fact that they were already in the depths of sorrow owing to the Fall and the consequent estrangement from each other, the fallen Adam and Eve were plunged deeper still into the same position as God in the realm of despair and lamentation when their firstborn son killed his brother Abel, and were forced to look upon their family as the lineage and realm of brotherly ties taken by Satan. Furthermore, on that day was also lost the right of inheritance of everything in the entire universe, which first came to be from the realm of oneness based on Your love, life and lineage, and from that day forward, You have been passing through a history of grief and anguish. Given the mission and responsibility, and guided and directed as the True Parent who had been established on this earth in sight of our Father, Your son has labored to right the history of the tradition of true parents.
The first Adam erred and lost the bloodline in the family, together with which brotherly ties were also destroyed. In order to recover what was lost, history had to be restored through Cain and Abel. On account of the fact that the lineage, brotherly ties and the family itself had fallen under the dominion of Satan, everything came to be in a lamentable state: Your ideal realm in which, as the seed of love, life and lineage, Adam’s family and everything in the universe should have achieved oneness over which You should have reigned, was instead under the control of Satan, in complete darkness.
In order to hide this, You used Seth in place of Abel, and waited with prayer until Seth could redeem the situation and rise to the position wherein he could receive the heart of Heaven. Thus was begun the course of the history of restoration to recover everything that had certainly caused nothing but sorrow for God, and this course had to pass through the path of indemnity, faced with opposition on all sides.
We know only too well the tens of thousands of years You have endured throughout history to be liberated and set fully free centering on the first family of Adam, the second family, of Jesus, and the third family, that of the Second Coming, thereby gaining Your place in the free environment in which can be put right the lineage of love and all things in the universe brought under Your dominion.
In order to perfect the position of the first, second, and third Adam, and the lost position of True Parents, the Second Coming, who has come to earth in the position of the third Adam, should restore the bloodline lost in the first family of Adam on the level of the family and the brothers. Together with Your bloodline, everything connected and belonging to You in the entire universe should be restored. This son, sent down to earth as the True Parent, knows how heartbreaking it has been for You, our Father, in whose innermost heart the history of anguish and sorrow has been deeply entrenched, to see our ancestors stand before You, not knowing all the work that you had done in the course of the history of restoration, and failing to serve You and to unite into one to bring You solace. With this knowledge, I had to embrace the woes of Adam’s family, and the failure of the family of Jesus on the national level, and the failure of Cain and Abel on the world level to form a family that can serve the realm of the heart of love, thereby failing to achieve a unified nation with the realm of the lineage of True Parents and the brotherly love of True Parents in harmony on the world level, representing the state and the church in the positions of Cain and Abel in the Jewish nation. Due to the failure of Jesus, who died on the cross to surmount the hill of Cain and Abel with Rome on the national level through brotherly love, and in order to surmount the hill of the lineage, the plan to rise above the bitter grief of Adam’s family and lay the foundation for victory came to naught. Therefore, the errors of Adam’s family and Jesus’ family were to be restored through indemnity with the coming of the third Lord, by the Catholics and Protestants united into one and all religions and nations made as one and serving the Lord at his Second Coming after World War II.
The United Kingdom, the United States and France, and Japan, Germany and Italy, in the form of Adam’s family and in the positions of the mother, the younger son and the archangel, were to establish the liberated realm of the true olive tree, the realm of religion.
The first three nations were to triumph over Japan, Germany and Italy, representing the world of wild olive tress swallowed in the fallen realm and symbolizing the unity of the mother, younger son, and archangel of the satanic world—during the Second World War—so that, on the national level on Abel’s side, the realm of children and of the archangel would have been able to become one and take over and engraft to the true olive tree the realm of children and all things of the satanic world on the national level.
By doing so, Your restored lineage and the restored nation of the Abel realm, and the failure to establish the nation of the Abel UN realm were to be redeemed as the one true olive tree in the extended forty years of history. However, because of the opposition from the Catholics and the Protestants, the religious sector, and nations, it became impossible to fulfill the mission and responsibility of the exiled Lord at his Second Coming on the victorious foundation of the family, and so I stood in the position of having to indemnify the forty years once again.
After passing through four thousand years of history and the eras of indemnity repeated up to the era of the Second Coming of Jesus centered on Jacob, and surmounting immeasurable opposition and innumerable hills of grief and anguish, last September 12, we were able to establish the Abel UN realm in the name of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF). Based on this victory over Cain, we could become one with the realm of Israel, which had failed to connect to the 120 nations in the time of Jesus and establish the victorious supremacy, on the foundation of which can now be completed the cosmic mission of the Lord at his Second Coming to bring together the divided spiritual and physical worlds and achieve the third right of ownership, that is, to cross over national boundaries centering on the complete unity of the bloodline and the brotherly ties, and to make one the right of ownership.
This is represented by the religious conflict between Israel and Palestine centered on the Arab realm, and the blood shed in the fratricidal war between the two divided brother nations of Korea centered on the realm of brotherhood. At this moment we are passing through a time of strained confusion in history brought about by such struggles. Furthermore, the time has come to break down national boundaries and abolish the right of ownership centering on the Bering Strait, centering on the right of ownership, to surmount and do away with all ridges of grief and anguish left in the history of the providence, to completely absorb and digest the foundation under the control of Satan by crossing over the national boundaries and bringing into oneness Palestine, bringing into oneness the Korean peninsula and the areas across the Bering Strait.
The time is now ripe for us to love the satanic realm and humanity, and even the Cain world in the satanic world, as we would our real brothers, with Your unfallen, original heart, so that the bloodline of Satan comes to a complete end and the position of the parents, then the position of the brothers, and finally the right of ownership over all that was lost by the first, second, and third true parents, up until the era of the Second Coming, can be brought to a complete settling of accounts. In order to accomplish this, everything of these three eras should be put together and on the substantial stage on the national level, extending to 120 nations, this task was to be finished between September 12 and the end of last year, so that, with the coming of the new historic period of great transition, the cosmos can be liberated and freed, and every form of possession in the entire universe can be dedicated in Your name. Such is the urgent era of transition that we have ushered in.
Hence, as of this day, as the representatives of Adam’s family, Jesus’ family, and True Parents’ family, the blessed families and those who have been married cross-culturally must become one with True Parents in complete oneness in absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience in order to inherit the victorious realm of the True Parents and stand in the position wherein they can inherit the traditions that can take in everything that was made by our enemies, by Satan, our enemies on the levels of the family, nation, and world, the blessed families. Through this, everything that has been blocked up in heaven and on earth, the wall standing between the mind and the body in the individual, the wall between husband and wife, the wall between parents and children, the wall between siblings, the wall between tribes, races, nations, the world and the cosmos, and even the wall in the heart of God can be dissolved, so that indemnification of everything can be completed on the basis of the heart of God, together with the realm of liberation and complete freedom, and the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. Now, as the fully freed and liberated being, Father, You can embrace in Your bosom of love the model family, the model nation, and the model world for the ideal of peace in heaven and on earth, and establish in victorious supremacy all the paths of indemnity that have led from the perfection of the ideal individual to the world stage in Adam’s family. Thus, You have achieved the realm of oneness of true parents and have trod across and brought under Your governance, in triumph, 120 nations of the world, on the foundation of which was welcomed this new, sixth year.
This year is the second year of the second period, following the fifth year, and in the three years remaining in this second period we plan to liberate the “Era of the Completed Settlement of the Model Providence for the Ideal of Peace in Heaven and on Earth.” Please therefore bless us and be with us as we embark on this great task.
The congregation gathered here today are blessed families, and just as True Parents were successful in establishing the standard of supremacy, and victory, and endeavored through matters of life and death centering on the oneness of the era of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, now it is time for the blessed children to establish the bloodline and fraternal harmony with one mind, one body, and one ideology through absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, centering on True Parents. As the representatives of True Parents in the position of the master with the right of ownership over everything in the universe, with the right of having the right to the same position, participating and living together, wherein they can inherit everything bequeathed to them at this moment from six years ago, with the same values, and, at the point of one hundred percent intersection crossing over the inter-cultural world, assert themselves as the heirs in the stead of True Parents who can inherit the traditions of Heaven.
This has been permitted to them at this time, and so with a heart of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, they should be in a position wherein they lead and guide others, and the standards of their nations and the world endeavor to keep pace with their lives, and as the owners and the kings of love in the era of tranquility and prosperity echoing with cheers of “eog mansei” for thousands of years, they can take the lead in the liberation of all nations and of heaven and earth.
Through this pledge ceremony held on this day, the first day of the sixth year of Cheon Il Guk, we are crossing over a ridge of the resolution, indemnity, and restoration of the history of grief and anguish. At this time it has been permitted to bequeath the right of inheritance of the heart of oneness with God on the foundation of the victories of True Parents over all. May all nations and heaven and earth be grateful under the guidance of the blessed families, and be willingly led by them, and may they march and advance into the ecstatic, liberated world of the kingdom of heaven on earth in the time of peace, together with True Parents. We beseech you to allow us to do our utmost to fulfill our responsibilities, starting from now, the sixth year of Cheon Il Guk, until 2013 when True Parents and all others can dedicate everything to God together; and please let us become families, nations, and the world of the ideal realm of a family of loyalty and filial piety.
Please accept all that we have prayed, our hearts united in devotion, on this morning of the first day of the new year. Please allow us with pleasure all that we have asked you, knowing that you will promise to bequeath this to us as the victorious domain, and please embrace the entire cosmos with blessing and grace, and with the heart of victorious true love. Hoping from the bottom of our hearts that You will permit us to march forward with fortune on our side into the era of the liberated kingdom of heaven on earth under Your self-assertive supervision, I report and declare this! Amen! Amen! Amen!
